Hi all, BackupPC_archive -h yields the following:
usage: ./BackupPC_archive <user> <archiveclient> <reqFileName> Having a few cracks at it yields: ./BackupPC_archive: bad reqFileName (arg #3): /tina/backuppc/DATA/pc/elephant/0/Users/test/ Does anyone care to provide an example of how to set off a BackupPC_archive a directory using the command-line to get, say, a Mac users local workspace from backups into a tarball or flat directory elsewhere similar to how the normal CGI Archive type would function but more granular? ie. selection is a directory or directories Afterall, the so-called 'share' is surely not the most granular we will ever need to get at my site. I actually plan to rely on BackupPC to allow the user to nominate (via CGI somehow) a path to a directory or file and set off the archive with a target name for the tarball (if packaged) or just a destination path (if flat copied). I don't suppose there is a concept of an Archive Root (like for backup DATA) but maybe that's a good thing to remain flexible. Also, I need BackupPC_archive to de-attrib and jiggy the 'f' and any other BackupPC specialness off the data to make it as it was on the original fs it was backed up from. Does it do this normalisation? (sorry rhetorical question this one, I'll check it myself) Thanks in advance for any contribution on this topic. Guy Malacrida <[EMAIL PROTECTED] probably needs to do similar but where he needs 2 paths archived from a share I need hundreds potentially - sometimes destined to one location as a merged archive of all path selections and at other times a separate package or separate directory destination for discrete results. Seeing the CGI mode of archive allows directing archives to wherever you want per selected unit(?...file/directory/share/host) I'd assume BackupPC_archive command-line could be made to do so also ... but it's an example of the out-of-box functionality as per the BackupPC_archive -h that I am interested in for now. An example for a directory. -- Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
